Jen, get down. Down.
- What was that? - A Crystal bat.
What they see, the Skekses see too.
- Did it see us? - No, I don’t think so.
Aren't these the people from your memory?
When the Garthim killed my parents, the Podlings adopted me.
They're my clan.
Come.
How do you say "thank you"?
Yeah!
You know the three suns in the sky? They're going to come together soon.
It's called the Great... the Great something or other.
It's a prophecy. He told me that I must find the Shard...
and that everything must be done before the three suns join in one.
And that’s all. And then he died.
Jen, what's the Shard for?
That's just it. I don't know. I found the Shard.
But you don’t know what to do with it.
Jen, this way!
Through here! Hurry!
Come on. Run.
- What was that creature? - Skekses.
Wait! They won't find us here.
- It's all my fault. - That Skekses...
He saved us from his own Garthim.
First Aughra's, then your village.
I wish I'd never heard of this Shard.
No, Jen!
Oh, Jen, they hurt your arm.
Here. This moss'll make it better.
It wasn't your fault.
The Garthim have always come.
Oh, Master, I remember the valley.
I didn't understand.
I miss the other masters with the old, old magic and chants.
I never loved them enough.
Out here in the world, look at me.
I'm not a hero, not the way you wanted.
Master, nothing is simple anymore.
Master? Master?
Where are we?
- Safe. - Safe?
I don’t think anywhere is safe anymore.
These are ruins.
They're the houses of the old ones.
You mean, our ancestors?
Jen? Here's the Shard.
I can feel something.
Hear it almost.
We don't go in here anymore.
Bad things happened in here once.
But they were Gelfling...
like us.
Yes.
They were all killed by the Skekses long ago.
Look here.
Just look at this.
That... That looks just like the Shard.
What does it mean?
And what are those funny marks?
Oh, this is all writing.
What's writing?
Words that stay. My master told me.
"When single shines the triple sun...
what was sundered and undone...
shall be whole, the two made one...
by Gelfling hand, or else by none. "
By Gelfling hand? Do you know what that means?
Wait.
This is a piece of the Dark Crystal.
- Then that's what my master meant. - Yes.
- I have to put it... - You have to heal... the Dark Crystal.
Prophecy?
- Jen, Skekses! - Stay! Stay! No!
Am friend.
Stay. Am friend.
Prophecy. Prophecy cause all this trouble.
- That prophecy? - Yes!
- That's why Skekses killed Gelfling? - Yes!
Bad mistake. Skekses afraid, fear Gelfling.
But you're a Skekses.
But I am friend, save you from Garthim.
N Why? - Don't listen to him. It's a trick.
No! Please! Must listen.
Am outcast.
If I make peace, am outcast no more.
- Will you stop the Garthim attacks? - Yes!
Please, come to the castle. Please!
Show them you want peace.
Show them Gelflings will not harm us. Please.
Come. Please.
Please. Yes. Please?
- Yes. - No!
Come on, Kira.
No! Wait!
Wait, please?
Please? Wait!
Please make peace!
Now I know what I have to do. How do I get to the castle?
I'll show you.
Over here!
What's that?
It's a landstrider.
- How did you learn to call 'em? - The Podlings taught me.
Don't be afraid.
Let's go.
- They'll take us. - But...
Kira, you don't have to go.
I know.
All right. Together, then.
No, Fizzgig. You stay here.
Oh, all right. Come on.
Hang on, Jen. They go fast.
Yes.
The prophecy didn't say anything about this.
Prophets don't know everything.
Silence, animals!
You're next, little Podling.
This won't hurt.
We just want to drain your living essence.
Then you can be the same as the other Podlings here:
a slave.
Open the wall!
Now, Podling.
Out there is the great shaft of the castle.
Position the reflector.
The reflector will capture the beams...
of the Dark Crystal floating high above.
Look into the reflector, Podling.
Feel the power of the Dark Crystal.
Yes! And now the beam will rid you...
of your fears, your thoughts...
your vital essence.
You're very lucky, slave.
Only the emperor can drink your essence.
He's here! Close it, slave!
- Is it ready? - Very fresh.
Very strong, sire.
Oh, it will make you young again, sire.
Young!
Yes, young!
You fraud!
Wait. Please, sire.
Liar!
Slave squeezer!
It always worked...
better when we used Gelflings.
- Look. - The ones who raided your village.
Let's go.
Come on.
- Kira, are you all right? - Yes, but we’ve got to get them out.
Hurry!
They’re coming!
Hang on.
Wings.
I don’t have wings.
Of course not.
You’re a boy.
Yes. A way into the castle.
This must lead into the lower part.
- Come on. - I don't want to go in there.
We have to go on.
Fizzgig, come on.
Careful.
Which way now?
I want to go back. I smell death here.
I know, but we have no choice.
- Skekses! - I knew you would come.
Do not be afraid. I am here to help you. Yes.
Come, we'll show them. Gelflings live with Skekses together in peace.
Please.
- No. Don't! - Let go!
I'll show them.
My hand!
So, my hand.
Gelfling, you die!
Jen! Let go.
Let go of me.
Come. Yes.
- Let go! - Now. Yes.
Gelfling, come.
No, Fizzgig. You stay with Jen.
- Yes. - Let go.
Let go of me! Jen!
I like those gray ones that go mushy when you put them on your fork.
Chamberlain. Chamberlain, get out.
Get out.
- Ah, Gelfling! Gelfling! - Gelfling! Gelfling!
Come and look! Such an ugly monster!
Awful. So awful.
Royal sire, I bring you Gelfling.
I... I have done this.
I have caught her. I bring you the Gelfling.
I was wounded.
I suffered horrible, searing pain.
A live Gelfling.
Kill her! We are sworn to kill all Gelflings!
No! She's mine!
But, sire, you could drink her essence.
Because of the prophecy, we must kill the Gelfling!
No. First we take her essence, then kill.
- Drain her first, then kill her. - Drain her!
Let's take her essence. Yes.
Essence. Drain her essence.
Take her essence.
As for the whimpering Chamberlain, return his robes to him.
Silence. Silence, animals.
There.
Yes.
Ah, yes. Essence of Gelfling.
Kira, fight them.
Fight them. Fight.
You, Kira, call the animals.
You have the gift. Call them to freedom. Loud.
Quiet, Gelfling. Be quiet.
Quiet, all of you.
- Stop. Stop. I warn you. - Gelfling, free me.
All of you, get down!
You've come too late, Gelfling.
The Great Conjunction is at hand.
Now the Skekses will have power over the stars!
What is the Conjunction?
Very soon, three suns touch.
Go, Gelfling...
I fear, to death.
Get down, Fizzgig. Quiet.
Yes. Big help you've been.
Oh, no.
Now where am I?
Is that the Crystal?
- Aughra, you’re alive. - No time.
No time. "When single shines the triple sun.,'
Where's Kira?
The Great Conjunction comes.
Yes. The Crystal.
This is what I came for.
The Dark Crystal.
The Three Suns.
The Shard.
The Great Conjunction comes.
Now we will live forever.
We will live forever.
- Gelfling. - A Gelfling.
Down, down. Fizzgig, no.
The Gelfling must die.
Kill her!
She will destroy us!
Gelfling, you die!
Two Gelfling.
No!
The Shard.
The Shard is mine.
Let go, smelly hair ball!
She has the Shard.
Take it from her. Now.
Watch out, Kira!
Kira, behind you!
Get oft!
No! Leave her alone!
Give us the Shard, and you can go tree.
- No. - Yes! Just don't harm her.
No, Jen. Heal the Crystal.
Gelfling, no.
How did you get out there?
Come on, then.
"What was sundered and undone...
shall be whole, the two made one. "
And now, the prophecy...
is fulfilled.
We are again...
one.
Many ages ago...
in our arrogance and delusion...
we shattered...
the pure Crystal...
and our world split apart.
Your courage...
and sacrifice...
have made us whole...
and restored the true power...
of the Crystal.
Hold her to you.
She is part of you...
as we all are part of each other.
Now we leave you...
the Crystal of Truth.
Make your world...
in its light.
